French Summary:
Le Salaire de la peur est un film franco-italien réalisé par Henri-Georges Clouzot, adapté du roman éponyme de Georges Arnaud et sorti en salles en 1953. C'est l'un des seuls films de l'histoire du cinéma à avoir remporté la même année la Palme d'or du Festival de Cannes et l'Ours d'or au Festival de Berlin.
English Summary:
The Wages of Fear (French: Le salaire de la peur) is a 1953 French-Italian thriller film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, starring Yves Montand, and based on the 1950 French novel Le salaire de la peur (lit. "The Salary of Fear") by Georges Arnaud. When an oil well owned by an American company catches fire, the company hires four European men, down on their luck, to drive two trucks over mountain dirt roads, loaded with nitroglycerine needed to extinguish the flames. The film brought Clouzot international fame—winning both the Golden Bear and the Palme d'Or at the 1953 Berlin Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival, respectively—and allowed him to direct Les Diaboliques. In France, it was the 4th highest-grossing film of the year with a total of 6,944,306 admissions.
Hungarian Summary:
Ha egy olajkút kigyullad az oltás csak úgy lehetséges, ha a égő gázokat és olajat berobbantják nitroglicerinnel. A nitroglicerin szállítása viszont rendkívül veszélyes, szinte öngyilkos feladat, hiszen a legkisebb ütődésre is felrobban. Az anyagot száz kilóméterről kell rossz utakon eljuttatni a célhoz. Mégis vannak jelentkezők, akik a jó pénz reményében vállalkoznak a filmtörténet egyik legveszedelmesebb utazására...
